There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Maybe, yes. I agree. I understand Kruger also does have a place called Singita. I've just checked that IG to make sure, but it has now made private.

 Hopefully we will see new, clear pictures of them soon for positive identifications. At least for now we know they are alive due to the location they were last seen.

Ah, yes. Still, it's great to see the remaining Kumana male sleeping so close to Maputo male.

Yes, definitely. I got really concerned at first. Now I'm relieved to know these two beautiful males are accounted for and to quash that false, nasty rumours about them. 
You know, their fathers are successful lions, but some of their sons are experiencing mixed fortunes at the moment, sadly. For example, Sand River males.

I couldn't be more agree. The Mantimahle males are a successful coalition, I hope their sons will follow their steps, the Plains camp males are going to be massive and healthy, just like their dads.

If all things works well for the Kambula young males. Will be interesting follow them in the next years. With a big number of males in the coalition. Without a doubt, they'll a force to be reckoned with. They have a proper size, healthy and well fed

They are in great position atm, as breakeaway is formed, they now dont have pressure from their fathers/mothers to leave the pride, so they can hang out with their sisters for prob another year or so, in that area between Bboys and S. Avocas/Nwaswitshakas south, until they feel ready to leave them or until Kambula breakeaways get in estrus and start attracting other coalitions.
